A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Friday, October 24, 2098, with a magnitude of 0.0056. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
This minor eclipse is the first solar eclipse of Saros cycle 164. It is the shallowest solar eclipse of the 21st century; at best, in a remote location within the Southern Ocean the moon will block out 0.56% of the sun's diameter with the sun barely above the horizon. Gamma is equal to −1.5407, which is also farther from zero than any other solar eclipse in the century. The eclipse is not listed by some sources. There will not be a shallower partial eclipse until August 23, 2883.

Eclipse season
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.
